Compare the 2023 INFINITI QX50 vs QX55

2023 INFINITI QX50 vs 2023 INFINITI QX55

INFINITI labels its QX50 a luxury crossover. Its QX55 is designated as a crossover coupe SUV. These few details give you a hint of their subtle differences. For consistently luxurious design, the QX50 is a wise choice; for coupe-like sportiness, the striking QX55 design comes through for families. That's the beginning of their differences. Here are a few more things you should pay attention to while comparing the 2023 QX50 vs QX55.

Performance

Both the QX50 and QX60 have inspiring powertrains. Each gets 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, leaving them level on horsepower and torque. The essential difference is that the QX55 comes standard with intelligent all-wheel drive. There isn't a single trim of the QX55 that isn't all-wheel drive.

Appearance

For an elegant, straight-across SUV design, the INFINITI QX50 is a sharp looker and worth a test drive. If you want an SUV with coupe-like exterior features, the more rounded roof and window area of the QX55 is an inspiring take. It comes with standard cube design LED headlamps with auto leveling, a standard moonroof, and an integrated rear spoiler. There are differences in their grille designs, too. The base QX50 comes with a semigloss black metallic mesh grille. The sleek QX55 boasts a grey metallic grille with a bright chrome grille surround.

Features

The 2023 INFINITI QX50 and QX55 both come with exquisite interior details and highly advanced technology. Both start from different base models, though, and there are distinct differences between the QX50 and QX55 base models. The QX50 starts out with the Pure and features leatherette seating and painted aluminum interior accents. The QX55 base - the Luxe - comes with leather-appointed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and dark aluminum interior accents. Both receive INFINITI advanced airbag systems and a LATCH system for families who need safety for young infants and children. The key difference is in the ProPILOT Assist feature that comes standard on the QX55. If you want additional bundled safety features, the QX55 starts out with this bundled system. However, the richly designed QX50 also comes with separate features that protect drivers. These features include lane departure prevention, forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and traffic sign recognition.

If you want to really compare these two models, nothing compares to driving them away for a long, satisfying test drive. Please contact our dealership if you'd like to explore the 2023 INFINITI QX50 and INFINITI QX55 for yourself.
